After all that talk by Rick about moves potentially being made and more roster shakeup taking place....here we are at Spring Training. Yonder Alonso our biggest acquisition and a horrible starting pitching staff.

So good you won't remember any of it

The best part is people still keep posting it on here.

Just get ready for that work stoppage. It's coming.

That's the problem with Texas...want to see the White Sox and it's a 3 hour drive to Houston or Dallas.

I mean....our starting pitching sucks. So this looks about right.

I mean sort of. It'll most likely just get buried with the NBA trade deadline up today.

Your serious right? You don't look around the sports world and think there's a problem with baseball?

Your welcome

If you need an example of the shifting landscape look what's happening in the NBA today and how it's taken over social media.

I read that article. Seemed to be a bunch of speculation and lots of questions left unanswered. What else was I supposed to get out of that?

Ok so your not going to answer my question.

I mean if the Padres sign him that's not a good thing in pretty much every aspect.

Cool so they are meeting with Harper for kicks? Give me a break.

You know what they probably do have though? Cash. Which is why their owners are meeting with Boras. It's kind of nice seeing a team serious about going after these players.

They signed Hosmer around this time so it's happened before.

Or you know....they actually sign him

This thread

I've argued this before on here. But does anyone think that the commissioner is really going to make the drastic changes this sport needs? I highly doubt it. Look I'm a millennial. Right now I'd say when discussing sports with people basketball and football take precedence over the others. Those games are faster and more offensive heavy. Not to say I don't like a good defensive battle during football. But the KC vs Rams game I think is a good indication of where people's mindset is with sports.

That's where I'm at too. It looks like you need attention. Dave definitely does.

It doesn't matter about trading good prospects for rentals. When you have lots of good prospects like the ones you traded it gets easier to make that move. I like that they just go out and make the deals without screwing around.

Right now they are. But they have the prospects to amp up their team pretty easily.

Just as a little side note from the last few pages....I like what the Reds are doing. Pretty much what I wanted us to do this offseason as a alternate to Plan A which was do nothing.
